I've got one from a CD store, years ago. I overheard someone ask for CDs by "Dave Cruisin'" and then later on the same guy asked about "Speero Jeero".

I would bet a fraction of 1%. An alternative question would be, with the obvious similarities, do many people from cricket-playing countries become baseball fans when exposed to the game? I would love someone to sit me down and explain how baseball works. I read a thread on AAJ about the game, and it did make me want to get into it. I liked the idea of the sunny day, the hot dogs and the beer and all that. One night when I couldn't sleep I caught some coverage of a US baseball game on TV. It probably didn't help that I had to have the volume off so as not to wake everyone up, but I found it incomprehensible. Much of the action I saw centred on a middle-aged man (I presume the coach) chewing gum, spitting, and making a series (and I mean a series) of non-verbal cues - touching his cap, his ears, nose etc. I understand that strategy is important in cricket, but do the coaches need to keep their strategy secret? In short, what made the impression on you was the manager using "signs" to signal to his coach (if his team is up at bat) or to his catcher (if his team is in the field) what he wants them to do (have the base runner "steal" the next base, throw a "pitchout" so that if the runner is stealing, you have a better chance to throw him out). Those are the main strategic decisions but the manager may also signal when he wants his pitcher to attempt to "pick off" the runner by throwing to that base (even if unsuccessful, this can effect the running game if the base runner is less certain when to run, or takes a shorter "lead" off of the base. The manager also signals if he wants the hitter to "take" the next pitch (don't swing) or if he gives him the "green light" on a count that is favorable (say, 3 balls, 0 strikes - now the pitcher has to throw a good pitch because another pitch out of the strike zone will be a "walk" or "base on balls", so if it is a good hitter, he may take advantage of a good pitch to hit). I was curious enough to go to Wikipedia for a description of cricket, their explanation of baseball isn't too bad.

Once upon a time, it would have been natural to see a jazz review in a "popular music" section of a paper (had they existed 50 years ago). Now we want to see it where? In the "serious music" section of the paper? Its obviously a sad state of affairs when a paper like the L.A. Times essentially stops covering jazz, but does that reflect the state of jazz in the market or the state of newspapers in general?

I would bet a fraction of 1%. An alternative question would be, with the obvious similarities, do many people from cricket-playing countries become baseball fans when exposed to the game?

Reminds me of the only Mobley recordings I've never heard.

I think Daniel A. said it best. :party:

Here's the Miles Davis page. My experience of Acrobat is that they've put out a lot of PD music but they tend to overuse or misuse noise reduction techniques and the results are often disappointing.

Agreed . I remember hearing the record and thinking the organist had to be one of the veteran grease merchants . Quite a shock to find out it was Pullen - he had the style down cold ! Iirc, it was Williams and Brooks who had to "teach" Pullen the blues. He gave them credit in an article in DB, I think.

Only the very worst clicks and pops can't be removed without damage to the music. I do it all the time. When you are talking about deleting or muting 4 100ths of a second (and that's for a pop with a long decay), any music that is lost is not perceivable to the ear,

Chuck, he's trading live recordings. He isn't selling. I've never seen evidence that this has any impact on purchases of officially released material. In fact, I'd bet that the people who trade live shows (or use Dime) are the type that would happily buy a "new" live CD, just to have another example of that artist's live shows. The only right that gets infringed on is the artists right to control what of their music is "out there" but I'd say they forfeit that right when they agree to the live broadcast. There's a member here who has a gigantic collection of reels from trades he made 40 years ago. Since I converted them to CD, should I ask him about paying the artists and paying publishing? The only thing that has changed from then til now is the technology. Otherwise artists have done radio broadcasts, and people have used whatever technology they possess to record them.

Conrad, I find it strange that your problem is low input levels, because in general it is supposed to be "too easy" to overdrive a computer sound card. So my first question would be are you choosing the correct input line to record from in Audacity? I use Goldwave and you can choose mic, line in, stereo aux and a couple of others. Also if you are using the microphone jack, Windows might be screwing you up. From Control Panel - Sounds and Audio Devices, there's an advanced setting for "boost microphone" that might be your problem. But I can say that I've been transferring some old cassettes and have had no problem using the headphone output of the boom box, with a "Y" adapter into RCAs into another Y adapter into the line in jack. I can manipulate the levels by how loud the boom box is set and/or by using the slider in Goldwave. I can't see why you wouldn't get the same results with Audacity.

In case anyone suspects that none of these are selling, I've updated the list to reflect what is no longer available and what the selling price was.

I'm fully in favor only if they take his ugly-ass wife too.

Three Sounds, Coldwater Flat

Here are some more requested pics. Three Sounds, Soul Symphony

It was part of the Japanese LP box set, a promo 45. Alfred talks on one side. Give me a little while then check your email.

Has DB taken note of either of the earlier releases or is this the first time an Organissimo record will get their attention? Would be cool if it is, I'm sure the review will be excellent.

Chris, you've lived a life in the music in one way or another, and you were friends with a lot of people and its been a great treat to see these personal glimpses into their lives (and yours). So by all means, please continue. The thread obviously gets a lot of traffic because people enjoy seeing what you've dug out of your endless closet. On a separate note, as talented as your Grandpa was, I've probably seen enough of his artwork.

Here are two photos of Mobley's The Flip. I should add that its a clean white paper insert, not the original Liberty-era one. Edit to say that the digital camera doesn't like me right now, so I may not have more pictures until I consult with my wife tonight.

UPDATE: PLEASE DISREGARD THIS LISTING - I AM NO LONGER SOLICITING BIDS, MOST OF THESE LPs CAN NOW BE FOUND HERE: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...p=0&#entry0 WHERE THEY HAVE A SET PRICE OF $3 EACH, BUY 5 AND IT BECOMES $2 EACH. THE LPs NO LONGER LISTED WILL GO TO EBAY. THANKS TO ALL PARTICIPANTS. I hope this offer doesn't fall victim to "bad timing" since so much has changed since I first mentioned offering my LPs for sale. But I've finally gotten a chance to start pulling and grading the best of my collection, here goes. This is the first of what will be at least two lists. These were pulled from completely unorganized shelves, so just because they are in alphabetical order doesn't mean there aren't more items from the same artists coming. GRADING: Grading is cover/vinyl. Did I adhere to strict Goldmine standards? Well I'm not a professional - but I do note the significant defects as an explanation for the grade. In some cases, I referred to covers as "perfect but for ..." because in my opinion an absolutely beautiful cover with, say, a clipped corner is still a helluva nice jacket. I haven't bothered with photos due to the number of LPs being offered but I will post pictures or send them via email if people ask for specifics. On the vinyl grade - if it is super clean and mark free, I called it NM. A few light scuffs, VG+. More and more scuffs, VG or VG-. For some, I spot-checked the record and may have brought the grade up due to the way it played, or simply made mention that it plays better than it looks. None of the vinyl was cleaned, so vinyl freaks who have a handy-dandy cleaning machine can pretty much bet that its likely that the vinyl is in better shape than it looks. PRICES: I'm not going to try and guess what a fair price is to get these to move. Therefore I am inviting offers, with the following provisos: Many of these LPs can be fairly priced at $4 to $10. If you make a fair offer, I am sure to accept. You can even get away with a lower per LP cost by buying more of these types of records. Some of these LPs are surely worth a lot more than $10 (the Workshop Jazz titles, for instance). But I am willing to forgo the time and expense of an eBay auction if reasonable offers are made. I know that vinyl titles here don't necessarily get a lot of response, but this is an opportunity where, for example, an LP that sells on eBay for $40 might get sold for $25 or so. So if you are looking for (relative) bargains, please make fair offers on the nicer, rarer copies. Should these not receive fair offers, off to eBay they will go. There are some Blue Notes in this batch, with others to come. Since I know that these tend to get a response, I reserve the right to wait and see if I get a higher offer. That applies to all titles, but I wanted to be explicit about the BNs. If an offer is made that I think is close enough to my conception of "fair", I may make a counter-proposal. Decisions of the seller are obviously final. Feel free to ask questions about things like labels or to request photos. Shipping will be quoted. If I am successful with this sale, I'll have to find a source for LP boxes and charge a unit cost for that, as I will surely run out of LP boxes quickly. Unless otherwise noted, Japanese pressings do not include OBIs. Paypal is preferred, check or money orders accepted, and cash is accepted from those few who have expressed such a preference during the Stupendous CD Sale . Last thing - despite the inexpensive nature of my TT, I have been known to get great sounding transfers, partially due to my careful removal of extraneous noises (manually, not using software that effects the music). Just ask Lon or David Weiss. That is to say that if CDR transfers exist, I'll be happy to include copies on request. ********************************************** Time Will Tell – The Big Band of John Anderson (Tangerine) A rare one from Brother Ray's label.

That second recording was a radio broadcast "Bandstand USA", the announcer certainly sounds like Alan Grant. All things considered, sound is just a B because of some interference but still very listenable. The Red Hill Inn was just over the river from Philly in NJ. Best track is Doodlin' because they stretch out a tiny bit more (5 minutes vs 3 for the other tunes). Would be cool to have the Philly recording.

Pretty sure you don't mean this kind of segway but maybe this kind

Very cool, Mike. X 1000.

I WILL DANCE IN THE FUCKING STREET IF THAT WAS THE LAST TIME I WATCH VARITEK FLAIL.

without any doubt at all.
